Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was collected in six rivers that transect the coastal plain of Georgia in July 1999 and February 2000. DOC concentrations ranged from 4.9 to 40.7 g m-3 and from 7.1 to 40.5 g m-3, respectively. ...

Remote sensing imagery was collected from a low flying aircraft along the near coastal waters of the Florida Panhandle and northern Gulf of Mexico and into Barataria Bay, Louisiana, USA, during March 2011. Imagery was ...

An analytical solution to the two-flow equations developed by Bostater, et al. is modified, and a sensitivity analysis is performed on the remote sensing model which contains both diffuse and specular light components. The ...

Collection of pushbroom sensor imagery from a mobile platform requires corrections using inertial measurement units (IMU's) and DGPS in order to create useable imagery for environmental monitoring and surveillance of ...

This paper describes low altitude mobile imaging of near coastal waters in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. A suite of mobile multispectral and hyperspectral sensors were flown between ∼1,000m to ∼3000m altitudes in order ...

Simulated and airborne imagery demonstrate the ability to see manmade and natural objects below the water wave surface. Traditional photogrammetric imagery and airborne digital imagery both suffer from a loss in image ...

The authors present herein an analysis of a single-Doppler velocity retrieval (SDVR) technique whereby the unobserved wind components are determined from single-Doppler radar data. The analysis is designed to provide ...

An analysis of the second phase of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison
Project (AMIP) simulations has been conducted to understand the physical processes that
control precipitation in the tropics. This is achieved ...

A flow through absorption tube is described and applied. The tube is similar in concept to a 50 cm pathlength cylindrical cuvette described previously by Bostater and Gimond. The new absorption tube allows for continuous, ...

A simplified two-flow model derived from the radiative transfer problem applicable to a water column is described and applied. The application of the model to reflectance signatures measured in Delaware Bay estuarine waters ...

Hyperspectral and multispectral imagery of shorelines collected from airborne and shipborne platforms are used following pushbroom imagery corrections using inertial motion motions units and augmented global positioning ...

Marine fouling on the hull of surface vessels is a topic of increasing importance
in the maritime field for its environmental and financial impacts. Recent
research developments have introduced mathematical models dealing ...

This paper describes ongoing research and initial results regarding collection of airborne imagery for detection of submerged features in optically shallow water types. The approach is to utilize land surface, water surface ...

Benthic foraminiferal communities are potentially useful tools for assessing
and monitoring estuarine ecosystems and as bioindicators of water quality and
pollution. To evaluate this indicator for the Indian River Lagoon ...

Gonyaulax monilata cysts were found in the sediments from 13 of 37 stations sampled in the Indian River, Florida. The distribution of cysts appears to be the result of 2 unrelated phenomena. In areas where blooms have ...

The lagoon is long (250 km), skinny (2 - 8 km wide), and shallow (1 - 3 m in depth).
Fetch is limited in most wind directions, save from the NNW (340°) and the SSE (160°).
Flow in the lagoon is primarily wind-driven, ...

Changes in benthic fauna were monitored following excavation of an offshore borrow area in the vicinity of Fort Pierce Inlet, Florida. Sampling stations were established along 2 transects located in the borrow area, 1 ...

During the past six decades, the thickness and areal extent of muck sediments have
continually increased in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida. These sediments
are anoxic, store and release nutrients, and destroy ...

Improving the performance and resistance of a high-speed monohull forms has
been of interest to Naval Architects for several decades. A considerable amount
of research has been carried out in this area by using stern ...
